ROTTERDAM, Netherlands — Andy Murray cruised to victory over Mario Ancic 6-1, 6-2 today in the semifinal of the ABN Amro tournament.

Top-ranked Rafael Nadal plays fifth-seeded Gael Monfils later in the other semifinal.

Despite nursing a minor injury to his right foot, Murray dispatched the two-time ABN Amro champion in just over an hour. He broke the Croat's serve in the second game of the first set and first game of the second.

"I hope I end up facing Rafael Nadal in the final," Murray said. "Our matches are usually guaranteed to be a spectacle."

Murray won in Doha, Qatar, and defeated Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer in an exhibition event this year. Murray lost in the fourth round of the Australian Open.
